JAM Stapl player on 64 bit platform?

Feb 15, 2012 2 Replies

Hi,



A few years ago I've prepared the customized version of JAM STAPL Player, well suited for operation in VME based environment with SCANSTA111 bridge (open sourced and published e.g. at

).



It worked correctly for a few years, but now we are forced to switch to 64-bit platform. Unfortunately the original JAM STAPL player code seems to be inherently 32-bit.



I'd like to know if anybody has succesfully ported the sources of JAM STAPL Player to 64-bit platform? Is there any other open source solution which could be easily adapted to efficiently drive the JTAG chain via VME interface?



-- TIA, Wojtek Zabolotny


I have found an SVF based solution:

but again there is no info if it is 64-bit safe...

I've successfully tested libsxvf on both 32-bit and 64-bit platforms. I had to write my own "backends" matching my programming hardware (one was based on CAEN VME interface, and another one on FTDI USB bridge connected to our own JTAG "accelerator"). The only problem was to write those backends in platform independent form.

Oh, well, additional problem was with Altera Quartus generated SVF file. The "FREQUENCY 10000000.00 HZ;" causes the SVF syntax error message, so it must be commented out before the SVF file is used by the libxsvf.
